This command sets up a list sweep.

AAB, C, ±DDD.DDDD, ±EE.EEEE, ... ±EE.EEEE

When list sweep is a selected source function, it does a list sweep with arbitrary sweep points in order

of the defined sweep parameters. If the source that is being used is a SMU, the source mode for the

sweep can be voltage or current. If, however, a voltage source (VS1...Sn) is being used, the source

mode must be voltage.

With the voltage source mode (VR) specified in the command string, you are setting the current

compliance. For the current source mode (IR), you are setting the voltage compliance. When

sourcing voltage, note that if you specify a compliance current that is below the minimum allowable

value, 100 pA with a preamplifier installed and 100 nA without a preamplifier, KXCI sets it to the

minimum allowable value.

The maximum number of points for the list is 4096. Sweep points must be delimited by commas.
